When Words Can’t Be
Expressed: #NotSpeech-ripe #ahamoments
What happens when a feeling manifests and no literary
meaning accompanies it? Do you get frustrated and try to attach words and
symbols to what simply has no words yet? This happens very often when we
meditate or dream. As I have learned to keep a dream journal by my bed for
important messages that come through when I am not trying or looking, I notice
that, come morning, I rarely understand what I have written the night before.
Could this be because, as I lay in a subconscious state my mind doesn’t need to
express in words to understand? When I reach into my box of human
understanding, even if I try to explain the scenario as I see it, words still
don’t describe the feeling.
I didn’t know a word existed for the gushing that doesn’t
have form enough to tag it with a human symbol or word. Today, during a dream
workshop, a friend shared that these feelings with no words are simply not
Speech-ripe. So, what of this? Should we be concerned when a dream appears
inexplicable?
If a dream stays with me long enough, I should assume that
spirit is trying to communicate a message. Again, the message may not be speech
ripe. But this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t write down the dream and wait
until it ripens.
Oftentimes, each character and object in a dream will
represent something special. You may find it necessary to meditate on the
dream, allowing yourself to be the voice of each of the people and objects in
the dream. For instance, if you have a dream about an empty suitcase, a person
coercing you to leave your home, and clothes strewn all over the house; you
might consider playing the part of each of these characters.
For instance: I am the suitcase in this draft of the dream.
As I speak in the first person for this image, I notice that I am empty. I have
thrown what was inside me out on the floor. I want to be empty. I am not ready
to leave for some reason. My desire is to stay home.
For the person coercing you to leave. I am the antagonist in
your story. I am the creditor who says, “If you don’t pay your rent on time
this month, you will have to move.” I am pushing you out of your malaise.
Next, I am the clothes strewn on the floor: Perhaps, I feel
as if every part of myself is scattered. My mind can’t focus. I want to create
order, but I simply can’t.
Then play the part of you in the dream and see if the
scenario makes more sense. Maybe this isn’t about leaving a place or job at
all. Perhaps this dream is about making a clear decision in your life, then
taking that which you’ve packed away and throwing out what no longer serves
you. Will your suitcase hold all of your old belongings? When you have sifted
through the old, you can now, neatly refold your things and safely move forward
in your life without the antagonist trying to push and pull you.
Dreams are mostly metaphor. So, try not to look at them with
the ego mind. When you release and let go of the perceived meaning, you may
find an even deeper, more AHA moment that opens up the
doorways to a deeper spiritual understanding of you and your life.

Below is information that I will be sharing for about a
month, as not every person on my list reads the blog every day. If you have
already read it, just skip over it. Thanks for understanding.
A
Year to CLEAR Challenge:
(Please Know: You Can Join Us At Any Point in the Year
Challenge.)
The masses search outward for things that qualify them as a
person, but I always go inward for that which quantifies me for greatness. At
twenty-five I preached on street corners in NYC as an in-the-closet Pentecostal
minister. One day I heard a still small voice say, ‘God cannot be contained in a
book or a law or even in a religion. Dig deeper, reach further to find me, and
you will find your authentic Self.’”
A Year to CLEAR Challenge!
The acronym CLEAR
stands for (Compassionate, Loving,
Enthusiastic, And Relationship-Ready). The goal of this project is to
engulf readers in a weekly study that will transform them by removing blocks,
promote self-growth, and give them wings to fly freely into daily life. Each
week, by going to BoSebastian.com and choosing the Year to CLEAR Challenge tab,
a new challenge or thought to provoke conversation, growth, and group
functionality.
My vision is to make Finding Authentic You the book to
have in your Kindle or on your computer. The book is a comprehensive look at
growth—spiritually, mentally, and physically.
As a yoga teacher and student of the Ayurvedic tradition, I bring
to the table understanding of physical challenges, the ability to overcome
mental problems with Life & Health Coaching, as well as hypnotherapy, and
expertise in meditation and spirituality as a minister.
The combination of all three in one book with an interactive
connection to like-minded readers, for one year, is what makes this Year to
CLEAR Challenge a must-do for every spiritual seeker.
The One-Year Approach to Change
No one believes he or she can change overnight. But success in
change comes from the metaphors of nature. Seasonally, life changes all around
us in nature. Finding Authentic You offers a gradual change perspective,
looking at the triune aspects of change as in yoga: Body, Mind and Spirit.
Accessing the
ability to change and finding
yourself actually pursuing change must be a daily search, which I call
getting to the “observer mind.”
In this frontal cortex of the brain we find the anatomy of
change and the power to counter every negative trigger of the human process.
The workings of Hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) and EMDR (Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) are all positive actions to help the
mind and body flow to a positive space for change.
Every aspect of FINDING AUTHENTIC YOU fulfills this
constant need for diffusing the negative past and dreaming of a fulfilling
future.
Step 1: Recognize That Change is Inevitable
Step 2: Release from Resistance
to Change
Step 3: Understanding Change and Allow Spirit to Define It
Step 4: A History Lesson—About You
Step 5: Look at Your Past with Compassion
Step 6: Making a Strong Commitment to Change
Step 7: Dream Your Fabulous Future
